Ascii Owls?

alt.ascii-art · 14 messages · 10 Jun 1999 - 20 Jun 1999
The ascii owl in my .sig is my first ascii.  I would be interested in
comments, improvements, and seeing any other ascii owls people might
have.  Thanks.

I like the following owl created by Donovan:
.,_,
(O,O)
(   )
-"-"------dw


Also, you might be interested that one of the owls sent to you by Joris
Bellenger has been animated. Check his website (unfortunately, I don't
remember the URL).

Thank you,
Valery

Somebody made a request for a very small owl. I tried to shrink it: 

        _  .

  / /)  )
  ,--"-"-

   .  *

Somebody else objected to shrinking an owl, saying that owls don't
hoover around trees like hummingbirds. Knowing full well that it was a
typo, nevertheless, I couldn't help myself:

     ...    *    .   _  .

Oh my, that Hoover is a little large for the owl. (See how it has to fly
in order to maneuver the machine?) Rather than shrink the Hoover, I'll
enlarge the owl:

In my default font, it looks like something that Matt Groenig (Simpsons,
Futurerama) would draw :-)

This is the closest thing I have to a hummingbird.

  -(__(  ---@./ww
      \)     (\
  ejm         "`

It seems to me that Joan and/or Ilmari and/or Hayley have drawn
hummingbirds as well. They're wonderful little creatures and actually
one can't even see the wings when they're hovering because they are
fluttering so fast.

This is either a gigantic hummingbird or a tiny vacuum and tree.
